Hmmm, interesting.

When I came here, after a while I wanted to give an update to my first question.

I asked this meta Should I update my question or add an answer?

It was pointed out that one was a duplicate of How should a question asker explain the results of using specific advice?

It has this answer by @Catija, pointing out 3 'rules' for updates:

  • Don't add a 'what I did' section to the question. It's not part of the question, a solution should be in an answer.
  • If you successfully tried advice offered in an answer, accept that answer and leave a comment.
  • If your solution was completely different, write a self-answer.

Even John himself stated things were better written as an answer

I agree this is not worth its own answer, but it definitely should not become part of the 'question'. I think it may be a better to post a comment underneath this answer.

That answer suggests directly telling the culprit there is pee left and to ask them to clean it up. It also suggests mentioning the difficulties of cleaning it up themselves, which the OP states they forgot to mention due to nervousness.. I think this answer shows the OP tried to follow the solution offered here, and that the 'solution' that was eventually used by the OP wasn't significantly different because of them forgetting to execute part of it through nervousness.

If the policies have changed in the meantime, I'm curious to see an updated meta :)
